When they do not have enough space to emerge or grow properly, they can cause pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wisdom Teeth Extractions

When should I get my wisdom teeth removed?

Wisdom teeth are typically removed between the ages of 17 and 25, but your dentist can help determine the best timing for you.

What is the recovery time for wisdom teeth removal?

Recovery usually takes 3-5 days, but full healing can take a few weeks depending on the complexity of the extraction.

Will I have stitches after the surgery?

In many cases, dissolvable stitches are used that will naturally dissolve within a week or two. If non-dissolving stitches are used, they will be removed during a follow-up visit.

Why do I need my wisdom teeth removed?

Wisdom teeth are often removed if they are impacted, causing pain, infection, or damage to neighboring teeth. If there isn’t enough space in your mouth, they may become misaligned, leading to oral health problems.

Is the procedure painful?

The procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain. Some patients may also opt for sedation to help them relax. Mild discomfort or swelling is common afterward but can be managed with pain medications.
